And we're going to extra time after a draw between Croatia and Spain! Croatia took the lead through a bizarre own goal from Pedri near the halfway line, with Sarabia equalising before the break. Spain looked in control when Azpilicueta headed in his first Spain goal and Ferran Torres added a third, but Croatia rallied late on.
Orsic poked one over the line from close range before Orsic headed them level in stoppage time. Brozovic runs across the back of him as he takes the shot which puts him off, and he drags it wide. Morata is picked out on the edge of the box and he turns before having a shot, but he blazes it high over the bar.
It's a wonderful cross into the box from Orsic and Pasalic gets between the two Spanish centre-backs to pick out a pocket of space. He flicks on the header and Simon can't keep it out on the stretch.
It's ! Livakovic goes long with his clearance and it's headed on by Budimir and then Modric to pick out Kramaric.
He's through on goal and sends his half-volley just wide of the near post before the flag goes up against him. He set off too early though and the offside flag goes up against him before he can swing a cross into the box. Budimir slides in on Busquets to try and win it back for his team but ends up giving away a free-kick.
It's manic in Spain's box as Modric pulls back a cross from the byline near the post and Kramaric pokes the ball towards goal only for it to be cleared off the line by Azpilicueta. The right-back then clears Orsic's effort, but goal-line technology says it crossed the line first.
He'll also miss the next game if Croatia reach the quarter-final. They're trying to close them down high upfield, but aren't having any luck. Budimir is the first to come on, replacing Kovacic. He has acres of space to run into down the right and it's a wonderful cross-field pass to pick him out on the edge of the box. He coolly takes it past Gvardiol before firing it past Livakovic, who rushes off his line. He's quickly helped back to his feet but he won't be coming back onto the field. He'll miss the next game if Croatia make it through.
Koke swings another good cross into the far post which is nodded back across the box by Laporte. He picks out Torres in the middle and his volley hits Morata at the near post and he taps it in from close range, but the flag goes up to deny him. Croatia get the better of Spain down the left again, with Juranovic fizzing a throughball into Kramaric. He cuts inside before firing his shot towards the near post, but Simon is there to make another save as the offside flag goes up.
It's better from Croatia now and Vlasic manages to pull the ball back for Gvardiol on the edge of the six-yard box. He drills the shot at the near bottom corner, but Simon holds it with a strong hand.
Gvardiol wins it back on the left, but his throughball is cut out by Koke. He may have just been offside, but Simon is quickly off his line to collect it. He's holding the bottom of his back, but he is able to get back to his feet without needing any treatment.
He has no one up with him in support though and his hopeful cross is cleared by Laporte. It's another good cross in from Torres on the left into the far post. It looks like Gvardiol has it under control, but Azpilicueta just steps away from him to get goalside before heading his effort past Livakovic from close range for his first international goal.
He curls an early cross into the box, but it's just ahead of Kramaric and Simon collects it. When he gets the return pass, he's tugged back by him and wins a free-kick for Spain. He drives forward on the counter but ends up overrunning it, which gives Garcia the chance to nick it back. It's a nervy moment for the goalkeeper, but he keeps his cool and clears the danger. Luis Enrique will feel that his side deserve to be level after dominating possession and creating more chances, but they haven't tested Livakovic too often, which he will definitely want to see change after the break.
As for Croatia, they haven't had a shot on target yet, but have looked dangerous on the counter, so Dalic will want more of the same.
It's level at the break with Croatia and Spain drawing Croatia hadn't had a sniff of goal when they took the lead in bizarre circumstances. Pedri played a long backpass to Simon, and his casual touch ended up rolling into the back of his own net.
Koke had an early chance saved by Livakovic, but Sarabia pulled them level after Gaya's shot was palmed to him by the goalkeeper. If the match is still a draw after the 30 additional minutes, then the teams will take the standard five rounds of penalty kicks to determine a winner. If the teams are tied after five kicks apiece, then the PK shootout goes to sudden death, with rounds continuing until one team has missed and the other has converted.
There is no golden-goal rule, meaning that the game doesn't end immediately after a goal in extra time. The golden goal was abolished in world football—it is still employed in NCAA soccer—after Euro , which was won by Greece using the silver-goal method in the semifinals. The silver goal was a two-year UEFA experiment that awarded the victory to the team who was winning at the end of the first extra-time period, if a goal was scored. Italy and Austria's last matchup was the first example of how extra time works at the competition.
After the teams played to a scoreless draw through regulation, Federico Chiesa and Matteo Pessina scored twice in the first half of extra time to give Italy a lead. Spain and Croatia also went to extra time, with the World Cup runner-up scoring twice late—including an equalizer in the second minute of stoppage time—to force the extra 30 minutes after a thriller.
Like Italy did, Alvaro Morata and Mikel Oyarzabal scored in the first half of extra time to seize the advantage in an eventual victory. Not to be outdone, France and Switzerland became the third game in the round of 16 to go to extra time, with France, like Spain, overcoming an early deficit only to blow a late two-goal lead. He's at a tight angle on the right-hand side of the box. Another superb through ball from Luka Modric. Just before the own goal, Morata had a superb chance, but placed his header into the ground from six yards.
Koke is one on one with Livakovic and places it straight into his hands. It's by far the best chance of the game so far.
The majority of the play has been in Croatia's half in the opening quarter of an hour. Spain, once again, dominating possession. Gaya flies down the left, before sending a dangerous cross into the box. Kovacic clears. Spain regain possession, Morata drives into the inside left channel, picks out Sarabia, who unleashes his left-footed effort high into the side-netting.
Spain have a good spell of possession in the centre of the pitch. Ferran Torres eventually wins a free for La Roja out on the right wing. Koke takes the resulting free. Azpilicueta heads the cross on target but it's an easy one for Livakovic. While the Croatians won the most recent of those two meetings in November , they lost the other in September , a result that remains their heaviest ever defeat in international football.
Spain setting their stall out quite early. Croatia looking compact already, expecting to have less possession than their opponents this evening. They found their scoring touch in the third game, against Slovakia, winning — the first time Spain had scored five goals in a Euro finals game and the joint biggest margin of victory overall at a UEFA European Championship. Croatia must quickly get over the news of winger Ivan Perisic's positive test for covid and, with plenty of replacements on hand, focus on Monday's Euro round-of clash with Spain, coach Zlatko Dalic said.
Perisic, who drove Croatia's effort in the group stage and scored in their draw with the Czech Republic and win over Scotland, is in self-isolation after testing positive on Saturday but Dalic refused to complain.
It's going to be tough but I am confident that we have it in us to beat them. Ferran Torres' scored Spain's fourth in the win over Slovakia. Luis Enrique has given the City forward the nod over Gerard Moreno.
Spain boss Luis Enrique has made a couple of changes for the 16 clash with Croatia this evening. Croatia midfielder Ivan Perisic has tested positive for Covid and will miss the Euro last 16 clash with Spain as a result. He is currently spending 10 days in self-isolation.
Spain's players know Luka Modric all too well after nine magical seasons with Real Madrid although they will not be able to count on any inside information on the midfielder as Luis Enrique decided not to include any Real players in his squad. All their play goes through his feet," Olmo said. Olmo also said that unlike Sweden, Poland and Slovakia, Croatia are likely to come out and attack Spain and not just defend, which could play into their hands after struggling in their first two group games.
Olmo, who moved from Barcelona's academy to Dinamo in before signing for Bundesliga outfit RB Leipzig in , also revealed that the Croatian federation had tried to get him to switch nationalities. Croatia and Spain face off for the first time in a tournament knockout encounter. Both sides progressed to the knockout stage with impressive wins, Croatia claiming second place in Group D with a defeat of Scotland in Glasgow, while Spain had a convincing win against Slovakia in Seville. The winners of this tie will play France or Switzerland in the first quarter-final in Saint Petersburg on 2 July.
